Giovanni Fattori
Giovanni Fattori
We finished the article on PVZ wagons with a nod to Macchiaioli and, if you think of this artistic movement of ‘800 Italian, Giovanni Fattori immediately, here in his self-portrait …
…. he is represented to us as a leading exponent of this movement. Born in Livorno in 1825, and later studied under Bezzuolo at Accademia di Belle Arti in Florence, fighter for the unification of Italy …
… .. He first painted scenes of battles … …. and military life …
Subsequently, the recurring theme of his art became the Tuscan Maremma landscape.
Often he animates his landscapes with human figures ….
and animals ….
… .where the landscape itself is the boundary …
…. with a remarkable mastery of color, of shadow and light.
There remain too few portraits, including one of the most successful is the one nicknamed “red cheeks” … ..
He had contacts with the French painting of the era, especially with Corot and the Barbizon school who influenced some of his works ..
He was not considered at the time a talented artist and his work, criticized as “too easy interpretation of reality based on the color”, was actually put into effect only at his death in 1908.
